As I am UK based, I have noticed that the Dunlop brand owner in the UK has three of the new models available for preorder at the end of November. It looks like they are changing the shape of the hoop and I am not sure how much difference it will really be. Might be that the rest of the line is after that, but I am not expert on all these things. Personally trying to resist buying the Max 200G from TWE

The Dunlop Bio M3.0 Tennis Racket is designed for players with a medium swing speed, who are looking for a great balance of power and control. The fully re-engineered frame shape features a 15% rounder, more eliptical head shape than previous models, resulting in a larger sweet spot. The hybrid power properties of an oval in the head section combined with the stability and comfort of a box section in the shaft portion, help to provide more power than previous models still with added control. The M.30 Dunlop tennis racket also features Pocket Grommets and a more aerodynamic cross section in the racket hoop, decreasing the drag and ultimately allowing for a faster racket head speed.

TECHNOLOGIES:
MoS2 Grommets - Inspired by the wear resistant self lubricating properties of snake skin, MoS2 is a revolutionary new polymer featuring a microscopic lubricant. This increases grommet durability by 40% and reduces string friction by 27% , delivering more string movement for enhanced power & spin.
BioFibre - Stronger than steel and lighter than Carbon, Dunlop has extracted the stem fibres from plants and woven them into the shaft of the racket. On impact this natural fibrous structure actively filters shockwaves by 18% to provide a cleaner more solid hit.
AEROSKIN CX - Inspired by the textured skin of sharks and engineered in a wind tunnel, Aeroskin Cx smooth's turbulent air, reducing drag by up to 36% providing greater racket head speed.

The fully re-engineered frame shape features a 15% rounder more eliptical head shape than previous models, resulting in a larger sweet spot, enhancing power and increasing racket head speed.The shaft portion of the racket has been engineered with a 5 sided cross section, resulting in enhanced racket stiffness and power, minimising torsional twist for increased levels of control.The M5.0 tennis racket also features a Wave Grommet System, allowing on impact the grommet bed to compress and recoil enhancing the trampoline effect of the string bed , reducing the shock on impacty for more power and control. The tennis rackets Aerodynamic profile inspired by the wing structure of a bird of prey, reduces drag cutting through the air for enhanced racket head speed.

The Dunlop Bio M6.0 Tennis Racket is designed for players with a Medium swing speed. The tennis racket features a slightly larger headsize at 102sq.inch's adding more forgiveness and power without sacrificing control. The Biomimetic M6.0 is constructed with BioFibre, offering a more solid feel for shot-making. The tennis racket is also covered in Aeroskin, allowing for a 36% reduction in drag, increasing the racket head speed. The MoS2 grommets fitted on the racket work with the strings, self lubricating to increase durability and friction, delivering more string movement and more power.

I was never a fan of dunlops narrow head width...it seems like they were going the opposite direction of where they should have. The M-fil 400, for instance...I bought it real cheap and felt like it had a tiny sweetspot. The 300's also look really narrow to me

What I'm reading here sounds like an improvement. Of course, I never buy a racquet until it's 2 or 3 generations past it's release, so I'll have to wait a long time on these.

Thanks for the info., guys. I will look forward to testing these new models, as I am very curious about the head shape change.
The oval never bothered me one bit though, so I'm not sure about the change.
I guess I'm a "classic"!!

I just bougth the Bio 200 because of the head shape. If Dunlop goes full round like a Babolat then I'll probably never buy a Dunlop again. I think for the money Dunlop makes the best quality rackets and nearly everything else for the game too.

In the past, I've seen Dunlop issue frames in parts of the world that never became available in the US, or even the mainstream tennis outlets. It looked like they had a completely different marketing strategy, maybe to non-enthusiast.

Even on the second link, there Aerogel models I've never seen before. My point is, it's very difficult to know which frames will be available to us until they actually hit the market.

I'm also in the camp who believes they should muck with success. If we wanted frames that look like Wilson or Babolat, we would buy a Wilson or a Babolat.

I don't mind the new rounded shape like Yonex (better sweetspot) if small head size but stiffness is now way too high for my linking :-/

It looks like all those brands don't care about feedbacks of players... Many of us are looking for flexible racquets, headlight, stable & medium powered.

They should release some low & medium powered player racquets with stiffness around 60-61 and add somekind of nano technology where it's needed to make it more stable (Becker/Völkl) and also something similar to the Head d30 technlogy that is nice.

I'm no fan of the increased oval heads. They're already far too oval.

As for the 'technologies', that's some serious marketing BS going on there.

Dunlop seem to be going downhill since Ashley took them over.

They should resurrect the Revelation Pro Tour, add some meaningful modern tech and be done with it.

I see nothing wrong with brands inspired by nature and trying to replicate amazing properties. The names used can been seen as hommages & are more appealing than random codes... So yeah of course it's green marketing but there is also some serious research behind that.

Well sounds like you already have ample choices in (Becker/Völkl) and Head. Personally I like stiffer feeling rackets, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. However, I think it's silly to determine the playability of a racket just on specs (stiffness) alone, and that a player should really play with one to really judge it. For instance, my racket has been officially RDC at 74, yet doesn't feel nearly as stiff as a PDR (@70). But that's just me, and others may feel differently.

First off, I love my Bio Max200G racquets and ave a great relationship with my Dunlop rep. But I cracked up when I read the part about the self -lubricating grommets and how they are modeled after snake skin. Did anybody else equate that with Dunlop essentially saying they are selling snake oil?
